Creepshow (DVD, 1999)

Creepshow - This DVD is four short stories that I wish were longer because they are so good. Ted Danson, Leslie Nielson and others star in these really cool stories. Give this one a try.

For any fan of George Romero or Stephen King, this movie is a must have.
Five short stories of people returning from the grave, turning into plants, attacked by cockroaches and I know not what. Apart from being deliciously creepy, they are told with an ingenious sense of humor and of course the two creators usual sense of weaving in some of the most unpleasant traits of mankind such as greed, pettyness, cruelty and vengeance, making the stories so much more than simple "ghost stories".

Stephen King does it again. If you like the horror filcks on the 80's & 90's then this is right up your alley. Stephen King always finds a way to make you think "Could that really happen?" What every great horror movie needs.

Although wardrobe gives away the decade in which this movie was made, it is a very minor distraction from a delicious collection of chilling tales edited to perfection in the TRUE voice of the original horror comics. The wrap-around story features none other than The Master's son, Owen King, as the young boy who loves his comics - no matter how horrid mom and dad think they are. (Sound familiar?)

This is a series of five switchblade-like tales that serve to pay true homage to the genre, its gutsy creator/publisher, and of course the wickedly dark humor of the Cryptkeeper himself. Highly watchable; you'll find yourself slipping it into the DVD tray MANY times to liven up a so-so day. NEVER fails to entertain. This one is well worth the small investment it takes to own a copy.

One of a kind movie that has a bunch of scares and laughs. Lots of great actors in this film making it even all the more better. You really can't go wrong with this film. Blu-ray copy is excellent.

my husband loves this movie its a classic. great shape.i would buy from this seller again. i had no problems from this seller was very easy to deal with.

I got the item in timely manner and it was exactly what I had ordered. Thanks again for prompt delivery because it was a Christmas gift and I cut it a bit close! I would definitely buy from this seller again.

I ordered this movie in mid-October 2009 and never received it. I had to wait 30 days before I could submit a claim against the seller, which I have since done about 2 weeks ago. The claim has not been resolved. If I submitted a claim about not receiving the movie, why would you send me an email to review the product???

I know this review is supposed to be for the product and not the sales experience, but since you should know I never received the product I'm writing this... maybe someone will pay attention and finally refund my money!!!

George Romero's 1982 horror anthology features Leslie Nielsen, Hal
Holbrook, Ted Danson and more. This is one of the best horror films
that needs a special edition. This dvd just has a trailer, but I'm
still holding onto it for now. I recommend this film to anyone because
it's an 80's horror classic.

always loved creepshow. now i need part 3. this was a replacement so i am satisfied to recover it. especially on dvd i had a vhs before. but someone stole it so you know its a greta movie.

I watched this movie many times before on vhs, much different on dvd. What I liked about it was the ease of switching, from chapter to chapter.

I reccomend that this movie be viewed by anyone who likes Steven King Movies..I knew that this would be a must have for even me..I like alot of movies so i knew that this one would be a must have for my collection,So anyway buy your copy of this movie when you can I highly reccomend that you do just that..So Thank you & God Bless.....

"Creepshow" has to be taken for what it is.It is a movie that pays homage to the old E.C. Comics such as "Tales from the Crypt", "The Vault of Horror", and "The Haunt of Fear".In this regard,it works almost perfectly.Mixing horror storys with a little bit of humor thrown in.It even has a comic book look in some scenes.There are five storys in the movie,the best being "The Crate".It was written by Steven King and directed by George Romero(not a bad combination).The cast works well in this movie.Hal Holbrook,Adrienne Barbeau,Leslie Nielson,Ted Danson,and others star.Stephen King even acts in one of the storys,"The Lonesome Death of Jody Verrill".Some of the storys might scare some people,but most will see it for what it is.Still a good watch for horror fans and fans of the old comic books.

Great movie, great condition, not a scratch,......................​.........................A++++ ..............................​........

It's another Steven King. I like this movie mainly because it reminds me of Twilight Zone and Steven King actually plays a main character in one of the inner stories. We did not have this movie and it was priced very cheap. We watched it the day it arrived, and this movie fits in perfectly with the other Thriller shows we tend to have on hand. Anyone wanting good clean spooky fun with no sex and language problems, this is good family entertainment.

This is a great dvd to watch. I watched it after not seeing it for 20 years and it was just as good as before!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I saw this film many years ago and enjoyed the film. I just never liked the last story about the roaches. That one is horrible and I always turn it off when I get to that part. But all in all I really like this film and enjoy all creepshow stories and I just had to add it to my collection.

George Romero, Stephen King at the top of their games in the 80's. Do I have to say anymore. If U love horror movies and DVDs than how dont U have it already. Besides the comics of coures, Tales From the Crypt wound up using the format of several stories mixed and hosted by a creepy dead guy. Watched it when I was 6 and loved it and still love it till this day!!!! I WANT MY CAKE!!!!!

Creepshow is just the sort of movie that is fun to watch on those rainy nights. Several short separate horror tales compiled into one fun movie, each with a surprise twist at the end. Though it doesn't rank among the most scary movies I've ever seen, it does have some moments which will make U jump! It surely ranks among my favorite horror movies in my collection because it's just plain fun.

Right now im in an 80s horror movies phase. There was a lot of zombies in it, maybe a little too many. But the roach segment was pretty cool and the Crate segment was good. And it was cool to see Leslie Nielsen play a serious role.

Ahhh...Creepshow. Plain and simply...You HAVE to have this one in your collection. A wonderfully scary and simultaneously hilarious blend of classic camp horror from the GODFATHERS of horror...Stephen King & George Romero. In this review, I am not going to do the requisite "re-cap of the 5 story lines", because if you haven't ever seen Creepshow, chances are...you have been living in a crate somewhere at the bottom of a set of stairs in Amberson Hall.
THIS movie...you MUST own if only for the fantastic over-the-top performances by an All-Star cast who spout of memorable line after memorable line.
VIVECA LINDFORS...WONDERFUL in the opening sequence, belts out drunkenly "Evvyting I wantet, he wantet for meee."
LESLIE NIELSEN...STEALS THE WHOLE FILM. Every line delivered dead-on, in sarcastic monotone. "Your Maiden-fair is waiting for her Knight in shining Corduroy."...(singing) "I'm just wild about Harry" (as he buries TED DANSON up to his neck in the sand)...then who could forget Danson's reaction to the crab about to bite his nose while he can't shoo it away???
ADRIENNE BARBEAU...ALMOST (but not quite) takes "top notch" honors from Leslie, as she struts around in an over-tight, and under-sized top while verbally abusing HAL HOLBROOK all along the way. "Just Call me Billie...Henry, you are SUCH a little kid...Buying real estate in a college town is a friggin pain in the ass...Don't leave the pans on the stove...YES, BILLIE, YES BILLIE!! (priceless).
STEPHEN KING...does his trademark "token appearance" as a hick-turned-crabgrass when he gets "METEOR S*%T" all over his hands. His reactions to BINGO O'MALLEY (and O'Malley's 5 minutes on screen) are AWESOME. As Jordy Verrill, King plays such a "Lunkhead"...and the way he plays it is a MUST SEE.
E.G. MARSHALL---has the "money shot" of the film all to himself. For those who know the movie, you know what I am talking about...for those who don't, then you just have to wait until the end of the film. BUT...he also gives an amazingly "Ebeneezer Scrooge/Leona Helmsley"-esque performance, who REJOICES when an ex-associate "Goes OUT with a bang!", and then spends the episode yelling amazingly hilarious profanities at both cock-roaches and people alike.
Toss in a young ED HARRIS, a cameo by TOM SAVINI (as a garbage man), and a sinister opening and closing "bookend-style" sequence that makes you just LOVE voodoo-dolls, and then watching the little kid almost SCREECH out his lines "NO--it wasn't like that, you sent me to get your cufflinks on SUNDAY!"
Trust me...you HAVE to "be there" to get these references.
You will not be disappointed. I saw this film when I was TWELVE, and at 38...i still LOVE it. This is a great film to "start out" a kid on who may be "getting into" horror films. More tongue-in-cheek than anything, and adults will like it just as much.
You will be scared...but not in a "Rob Zombie" way. If you can't enjoy this movie, then you probably have no sense of humor...as it is "technically" a horror film...but done in such a perfect way, that it makes it FUN to watch a scary movie again. And you will laugh. It is a HOOT!

Love, love horror. My entire family grabs a big bowl of popcorn and watches all of the creepshows when we catch them on tv. I use to watch these when I had sleepovers as a child. They are the best...

My son has had this movie for a long time and now my nephew is old enough to get in to scary movies. This is not a movie you can just walk in and buy, so I went online. The quality of the movie was very good and it's exactly what we expected.
